Qin Hu

Chapter 135 Such a world, isn't it a nostalgia!
Li You and Zhang Cang hurriedly listened, both of them looked surprised.

Based on their understanding of Zhao Zihu, it is absolutely impossible to confuse law and emotion, punish him when he is punished, and kill him when he is killed.

Just a piece of wild ginseng will not make Zhao Zihu go through the back door and let those alchemists go.

Zhao Zihu shook his head with a funny smile: "Brother You, you are also the Grand Commander now, so you need to learn more about how to control your servants. To you and me, alchemists of that generation are no different from ants? The key to this matter lies in the people like Xu Fu. On... not on the body of my friends of that generation."

"Please tell me clearly." Li You blinked and sincerely expressed that he was not smart enough.

Zhao Zihu said with a sore tooth: "Before, didn't I say that you need to rely on the experience of Xu Fu and other alchemists to go to sea this time. Since your friends of that generation have been punished with hard labor, Qin's laws cannot be changed in vain, but... It’s okay to do hard labor in another place.”

"Change the place... What the young master said is..."

Li You was slightly stunned, but finally came to his senses and said: "When we go out to sea, punish your friends to do hard labor on the sea boat, right?"

"Children can be taught." Zhao Zihu said with a smile.

Li You thought for a moment, and praised: "This method is very good, my son is really a clever plan! Doing hard labor on a sea ship is also hard labor, and the law has not changed. But the other generation is on a sea ship, so you can get old masters like Xu Fu to take care of you." , there is no need to worry about your life. Xu Fu, you should think of the kindness of the young master!"

"Your son status, why do you need to do this, it is clear that you and I want to accept Xu Fu's favor!"

Zhang Cang glared at Li You, then shook his head hesitantly, with a look of hating iron but not steel.

Zhao Zihu and Li You are both his nephews. Looking at it now, there is really no comparison, and there is no harm... There is no comparison.

Zhao Zihu couldn't deny it, and said: "The other generation will not only be able to get the care of Xu Fu's alchemists, they will go out with you on a long voyage, and if they can return, they will be meritorious. It's on."

"With this kind of favor, Xu Fu and the old gods are at sea, and they want to play tricks, but they don't have that face anymore, do they?"

In fact, he wasn't worried that Xu Fu and the others would rebel on the sea ship, such things that had ruined their bodies were not accompanied by domestic slaves, and the imperial guards would treat them like chicken cubs.It's hard to say if you don't work hard.

Now that there is such kindness, Li You will be more obedient when he is summoned.

When it comes to this point, if Li Youruo still can't figure out the way, then he can really open the ladle to see if his brain is wilting.

"It's still the young master who is thoughtful!" Li Youyi bowed his hands, feeling very grateful in his heart.

Zhao Zihu waved his hand: "As for the alchemist, I will ask Tie Yingruishi to escort him to the island, and you can arrange it yourself. Besides, after setting sail, I hope you two will work together, think carefully and act carefully. Let Xiaoxiao take advantage of the loophole!"

"Going out to sea to search for food seeds is a big matter. If someone dares to do something wrong, don't be merciful and cut them all!"

"Wei~!"

Zhang Cang and Li You looked at each other with a serious expression, and responded in unison.

Going to sea this time is not only related to their wealth and life, but also related to their future prospects and their reputation in the world after death. How could they not care about it.

Zhao Zihu still wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he saw a sharp soldier leading the waiter from the Yellow Gate to come.

"I've seen you, my lord! Your Majesty is leading all his ministers to go to the island to watch the sea." Huangmen came up to him and greeted each other.

Zhao Zihu was taken aback for a moment, he thought that Yingzheng would have to rest for a few days before landing on the island, never thought that he was so impatient.

Ying Zheng had seen the blueprints of sea-going ships, so he probably wanted to see the true appearance of the ships sooner.

"I can't go to the dock for the time being, let's go, pick me up!"

Zhao Zihu, Li You, Zhang Cang, and Han Fei's master and apprentice immediately turned around and went to the port to meet him.

Sa Huan's cold-blooded Thirteen Eagles also fell silent when they heard that the royal driver was approaching, and followed closely behind.

After walking for a while, Zhao Zihu saw from a distance, between the strait, a large boat, breaking through the waves.

The head of the building boat is square. Although it has no sails, there are paddles on both sides, and the speed is not slow.

The building ships in the Qin Dynasty were all used as warships, so the ship floors had defensive low walls, and there were densely packed windows for firing bows and crossbows.

On the top floor of the front end of the building, there are a lot of people.

Surrounded by his ministers, Yingzheng faced the gusts of sea breeze, looking at the vast sea with rough waves and white waves like snow, pointing something.

Suddenly, the ancestral dragon on the boat on the building made Zhao Zihu feel like a king in the universe, and he also had the feeling of "I want to go back by the wind".

When Yingzheng got off the boat and met his father and son, he led his ministers and walked westward to Zhifu without stopping.

The Great Qin prospered in the West, and the West has always been the first choice in winning politics.

There is a small hill on the east and west of Zhifu Island. Ying Zheng ordered Zhao Zihu, Li Si, Zhao Gao, Han Fei, and Chunyu Yue to climb the hill together.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Yingzheng looked at the vast sea again, the sea and the sky were connected, and the blue waves were sparkling, and he couldn't help but look back to the west. When he saw thousands of miles of winding, mountains and emerald green, there was a piece of splendid robes, dazzling armor, and even banners Hunting, can not help but be full of emotion.

"Such a country, wouldn't it make people nostalgic!!"

For a long time, Zhao Zihu and even all the nobles dared to stand quietly, watch, and smile thoughtfully.

Until Ying Zheng raised his hand suddenly, Zhao Gao and Li Si immediately understood, one ordered several craftsmen to climb the mountain to carve stones, and the other unfolded the bamboo slips and began to read the content of the eulogy.

Zhao Zihu can probably know that this engraved stone is the "Zhifu Inscribed Stone" passed down by later generations. He guessed that when he swims to Dongtou Hill later, there is no need to come up with an "East View Inscribed Stone".

It's just that the content is different from the later generations, I'm afraid...

And the eulogy read out from Li Si’s mouth was as expected by Zhao Zihu. In addition to continuing to crazily publicize the great achievements of Qin’s unification of the six kingdoms, it focused on exposing the crime of "returning the six kingdoms and being greedy and insatiable"... …

This was obviously a serious warning to anti-Qin fanatics like Zhang Liang. Zhang Liang at the foot of the mountain heard the reading, his eyes twitched, he was a little nervous, and he didn't take it seriously.

As for the words of "cooking and destroying violence, and revitalizing and rescuing the head of Guizhou", they are summing up the gains and losses of punishing rape and eliminating evil, and the incompatibility of the law. The gain is the support of the people and the comfort of the emperor. Corruption, the emperor was heartbroken, and hereby encouraged the common people to report and expose corrupt officials, town tyrants and evil gentry.

The eulogy also mentions the continuous sitting system of "six relatives protect each other, and there will be no bandits in the end". This is where later generations most fiercely criticized the cruelty of Qin law...

Let the people sit together with the ministers for the same reason, and those who accuse the adulterer will be rewarded with beheading the enemy's head, and those who do not accuse the adulterer will be punished with the same punishment as surrendering the enemy.

But if you report the treacherous, you will get a reward. The greater the treachery, the heavier the reward.

Shang Yang's law is so thorough in human nature, it annihilates human nature, and makes everyone feel insecure.

Few historians or scholars recognize the practical significance of the system of consecutive sittings at this time.

But Zhao Zihu has already realized that this article shows Daqin's own actual explanation...

The practical significance of the continuous sitting system is not "six relatives protect each other", but its practical effect is "no thieves in the end".

That is to say, the Qin-Fa joint sitting system, which originated from wartime control, achieves the goal of joint crime prevention and mutual protection of clansmen and relatives through mutual reporting of crimes.

As far as the overall social effect is concerned, no one commits a crime, and naturally there will be no criminals like thieves.

Everyone fears the Qin law, everyone respects the Qin law, and the Qin people devote themselves to farming and fighting, so they have a unified China.

Because of this practical effect, after the unification of Qin Dynasty, Yingzheng not only did not abolish the consecutive seat system, but pushed it to the entire Kyushu.

Since the Qin Dynasty, the successive generations have continued to use the system of consecutive sittings intermittently and have never been able to completely abandon it. It should be said that this practical effect played a decisive role, especially in wartime society.

In Zhao Zihu's view, Qin Xiaogong's Daqin at that time was a seriously ill person who was almost hopeless and had to use the strong medicine prescribed by Shang Jun.

Chun Yuyue and Ying Yao, who stood behind Li Si, listened to this eulogy at the beginning, and they were just like Zhang Liang. They were very tired and crooked in their hearts. They thought to themselves that the First Emperor and Zihu are indeed father and son...they are both so cheeky and tolerant Criticism?

As always, I like to put gold on my face!

The whole eulogy comes down to one meaning...

All mistakes are the fault of the Six Nations!
I, Daqin, am a conscientious old scalper. He pitied the people, so he launched a crusade and vigorously promoted martial arts.

But... Listen, even the most stubborn Zhang Liang couldn't help nodding his head frequently.

Needless to say, the first emperor came along the road to clean up the officials, and it was really effective, and he dared to punish his clan members in front of the common people...

This kind of courage alone is something that no generation of monarchs of the previous Six Kingdoms has ever possessed!
I can't accept it! !

Chun Yuyue, Xia Huanggong, etc. sighed slowly, and looked at the backs of Ying Zheng and Zhao Zihu, with a little more admiration in their eyes.

Zhao Zihu felt it, he grinned, raised his eyebrows, and almost turned around to shake his prestige.

Ying Zheng had a deeper understanding of these reactions, subconsciously nodded slightly, and his inner sense of honor soared.

Loved by the common people, stubborn Confucian scholars subdued, the emperor is so cool to be a thief!

After the eulogy was finished, the stone carving was less than half finished. Ying Zheng didn't care, he raised his hands to the sea and sky, and with Meng Yi's support, he went down the hill first and headed east.

Zhao Zihu and others then filed down, speeding up their pace to catch up with Ying Zheng.

Dongtou Hill is lower than Xitou, where the shipyard is located.

After another stone carving to praise the great Qin's merits, Yingzheng and the officials turned to observe the six clipper boats. Except for Zhao Zihu, Li You, and Zhang Cang, everyone was amazed when they saw these boats.

Ying Zheng knew the strangeness of this flying shear boat, but he didn't know why, he stroked his beard and smiled lightly, just waiting for someone to come forward first to clarify his doubts.

Where Li Si couldn't see it, he was also extremely puzzled, so he hurriedly recruited his eldest son Li Youjin to come forward and ask, "Come and tell my father, it's fine that this new-style big boat is long and narrow, why is the bottom of the boat so sharp and long..."

"Aren't you afraid that you will capsize as soon as you go out to sea?"

All the nobles were also itchy and unbearable, and they echoed him one after another.

"Of course, I also have this concern!"

Li You didn't know much about this, so he turned his eyes to Zhang Cang and Zhao Zihu for help.

Zhang Cang simply looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and lowered his head to pretend he didn't see it.

He had just arrived on Zhifu Island for less than half a month, and these boats were all figured out by the boatmen day and night, and he hadn't even figured out the general idea yet.

……

This question is really stupid!

Zhao Zihu glanced at Li Si, took off a small ornament hanging from his waist, and displayed it in front of everyone.

no way!
Living in a different era, the gap in cognition is so huge...

It has a gradual process, and we cannot expect to guess and understand it out of thin air if we have never been in contact with it.

But he admired those boat craftsmen, who could draw an outline by themselves and spent more than a month thinking about these flying clipper boats that fit the idea.

Therefore, it is still feasible for Daqin to climb the technology tree...

However, you have to climb up step by step, not like a castle in the air, just come to whatever you want.

If the steps are too big, it is easy to pull the egg.

Zhao Zihu's previous accessory was a small Rubik's Cube, which was given to his acquaintance Xiang Liyue.

At this time, the new accessory displayed on his palm is a tumbler, with a red lacquer appearance and a naive look.

In fact, he has quite a few of these gadgets on hand.

Zhao Zihu was not in a hurry to explain, he handed the tumbler in front of Li Si and said, "Prime Minister Li, just try to push it."

"This, this is..."

Li Si was a little speechless, he blew on his beard, thinking to himself that it really was a clan tyrant.

She's obviously past the age of tying her hair, and she's about to get married soon, yet she's still stubborn.

Aristocrats wear robes and pendants, either ivory and rhino horn or gold and jade, beautiful jade is the best, but this son uses such a small thing, it is really embarrassing.

Yingzheng feels even more shameless, so there should be a limit to the cowardly nonsense, right?

But this coward, took out this gadget, could it be to prove the problem with the clipper ship...

Seeing Li Si's reaction, the officials were also very dissatisfied, Zhao Zihu twitched his lips, grabbed Li Si's finger, and put a little force on the tumbler's head.

"Son, Mr. Tiger! You..."

Li Si screamed and struggled, but suddenly his whole body froze, his eyes widening when he looked at the tumbler.

"This? This! Huh..."

The tumbler swayed from side to side in front of his eyes, but it didn't stand still or fall down, and that silly smile seemed to be mocking him.

Yingzheng and the officials were also attracted by the wobbly but not toppled gadget.

Zhao Zihu picked up the tumbler at the right time, separated the top and bottom, and showed it to everyone.

"This thing is called a tumbler. As the name suggests, no matter how you push it, it will not really fall down, and it will stand up firmly."

"The reason is here..."

Zhao Zihu raised the base and cone of the tumbler: "I filled the base with sand. The upper half is hollow. The lower part is solid and the upper part is empty. The center of gravity converges on a point on the semicircle of the base. In this way, no matter what Fiddle with it, and it will stand up again."

What about gravity, resistance distance, these technical terms are not mentioned, the knowledge blind spots of the ancestors...

However, Zhao Zihu's relatively simple statement is for everyone to understand.

Zhao Zihu closed the tumbler again, continued to shake it a few times, and then said: "The sharp-bottomed boat is nothing more than the same principle. You only need to pile up enough ballast stones on the bottom of the boat. Like this tumbler."

One is a pointed bottom and the other is a round bottom. This explanation is a bit far-fetched.

The overall principle is indeed not bad.

Li Si looked at the tumbler, then at the clipper boat, and sighed: "Such a wonderful idea, only son of a tiger!"

Zhao Zihu ignored the rainbow fart, took the tumbler away, and looked at Ying Zheng: "Father, do you want to go on a boat?"

"That's natural!"
